Sane for Whom?

Well APIPA is sane to people for whom "networking" stands for either being on Social Networking sites or playing games on two or more computers "together" 
MS people implemented APIPA so that people can just connect two machines without having to know what an IP is and how to configure it. You just need to know which cable goes where!
It's not a good idea for a server-client environment and in noway should be a substitute for DHCP. I never saw anything like that in UNIX/Linux world and would never like to see it. Everything has its own place.

ggz(7) GGZ Gaming Zone ggz(7) NAME
ggz - The GGZ Gaming Zone DESCRIPTION
The GGZ Gaming Zone is a standards-conforming online gaming infrastructure which provides many applications and games to people who like to play on the internet or in local networks. APPLICATIONS
There isn't a single executable named ggz, instead a multitude of programs is available to the user, and even more which operate on the system level or are used by developers and administrators. Users will most likely want to connect to a GGZ server on the internet, such as ggz://live.ggzgamingzone.org, to play games against other people. Core clients are used to perform this task. GAMES
Games are usually launched by the GGZ server, with corresponding game clients running on the user's desktop. Plenty of games are available for GGZ, most of them coming from the GGZ project itself but several independent game projects do now provide GGZ support. While some GGZ game clients are suited for online gaming only, others also run locally like normal games happen to do. Those will be found in the desktop's application menu. FILES
/usr/bin GGZ applications, tools, and the games which provide single player mode. /usr/lib(d) GGZ game client and server libraries. /usr/share/ggz(d) Data files for game clients and servers. CONFORMING TO
